We were barbarians at our root. Maybe all this trying to transcend it, will make us, spiritually ill in many ways.
We may need to go back to barbaric roots in some fields. Perhaps this is why the Prophet is reported to have said "I eat with my hands and lick my fingers, who doesn't like my way, is not from me" (I don't know how accurate the hadith is but it's part of long seemingly sincere advice to Abu Dhar).
We don't have to eat with out hands or lick our fingers, but being disgusted at it, perhaps, we are to arrogant and leaving our barbarian roots too much, that we belittle too many humans of the past.
